Hey ladies, so 2 days ago AF finished ... I'm cd 7 and having cramps JUST like af is coming ... Anyone experienced this? It's not possible that I'm going to Ov already is it??

If you normally have a 33 day cycle it seems unlikely but I would POAS to see

I'm getting so jealous reading you girls talking about black dye tests. I can't find anywhere in the uk that sell them, or that'll really ship to uk

Amazon.co.uk does them, but it's like a 25 pack for £52 which is A LOT!! Well I think it is anyway... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genzyme-OS...ZMU8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359758297&sr=8-1
And on ebay aswell, but they are around the same including the shipping...

 

[Girly922]

Thanks.

I saw the ones on amazon but someone had written a review saying they werent the black dye ones so it seemed an awful lot to pay to find out they weren't. Lol. And when I searched eBay it came up with no results. But maybe I spelt that wrong. If this cycle is a bfn I may be ordering some!! Lol.

This is the cheapest place i've found em, not sure if they ship to the UK or not

Thanks ladies ... The cramping has got worse ... On my left ovary ... That's the side I think was dominant in my chemical and I'm hoping its not a lingering cyst :/ I'm just waiting for my OPKs in the mail ... I'll check now maybe they're in ...

 

[clynn11]

Well, being the most impatient person in the world I decided "Eh, wth, might as well order them!"

SO I have 25 OSOM black dye hCG urine tests on their way!! Estimated arrival between Feb7th-12th. FX for a Valentines BFP and a nice BLACK LINE!!!!

 

[GingerPanda]

WOOT! I will require all kinds of black line pictures!

 

[clynn11]

Do not worry! I will provide pictures galore! lol

 

[baby4me2013]

Seriously LOL!!!

 

[adopim]

I agree, I will also require those pictures!!

 

[LoveSanrio]

Oh cool! Can't wait to see a black line! So neat!!

 

[Girly922]

Oh I cannot wait to see pics!!

 

[LoveSanrio]

SOOOOOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!

Just got a VERY near positive OPK! There is no mistaking it! I cannot begin to explain the stress it has lifted off of me to see that MUCH darker than before second line!!! I was like, hey...why not pee on a stick while I'm in the bathroom, before I go to bed? It was 2:15am! And sure enough, for sure nearly positive!

Ugh I swear I would kiss this thing if it didn't have my pee on it!

I have been lining up all my OPK's HOPING I would see some progression. I took a few pics for you guys, so I am hoping you can see it too! My camera sucks with up close shots, which is pretty annoying, but I'll give it a try anyway. The very last test is the one I just did. I think it is much darker IRL though.

Okay, so now that I have a near positive, what should I do? When should I test again so that I can catch the actual positive?

My husband leaves for work at 6am, and won't be home until about 7pm. Is it okay to wait that long to BD after having a very near positive test? I would hate to miss the eggy! Last time we BD'ed was yesterday. Any tips are much appreciated!

Ladies I don't know much about OPKs, but I took one this morning (late morning as was specified on the pack), and the test line was almost as dark as the control line. Does the line only become stronger when you're close to ovulation, or can it be dark though out the whole cycle? I'm a bit confused because I estimate I'm on a 34 day cycle, and I'm currently CD8, so I didn't expect to ovulate for another 10 days. I've attached a pic - what do you think?

 

[tl5953]

Does anyone know why I would've had such a temp drop today? I'm only cd 8 ... My chart is in my signature ...

I'm on an approximately 30 day cycle, and in December and this month I got positive OPKs way early, then they went away, and now it's the normal time for them to be positive, and they are again. Sometimes your body just gears up to ovulate, and then doesn't, then does later on into the cycle. It's pretty common, but it's not supposed to happen EVERY cycle, so I'm kinda worried about mine, but I don't think you should be about yours.

I would just BD when your DH gets home. A positive OPK means that you will ovulate within the next 36 hours, so you'll be fine. Catch that eggy!

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about temping, but I think I would throw that temp out. Do you temp orally or vaginally? Are you sure your batteries are good? If it was an oral temp, I would say you maybe slept with your mouth open. If it was a vaginal temp, I think I would have checked my batteries and tried to take it again. That's a really big temp dip. Hopefully someone who knows more about temping has more insight.
